I’m loving the change of seasons, the beautiful weather, and I’m prepping to take my kids to their first Big Ten football game tomorrow to cheer on the Fighting Illini! I’ve decked them out in orange hooded sweatshirts with matching hair bows, and we are excited! Most importantly however, I love that I have my excuse to indulge in my yearly candy corn binge.
I’ve always loved candy corn, the Brachs original, no copies, generics or other brands allowed in my house! The pure delight in 100% sugar in that clever shape that simply speaks to fall fun and Halloween memories from long ago. When you have access to or eat special treats year-round it’s just not the same.
Of course, once I eat that bag of candy corn….my head feels bad, I still have to eat some sort of meal, but I strangely never have any regret. It’s just a tradition I won’t deny myself of. My sister suggested I mix candy corn with peanuts for the perfect sweet and salty mix— heaven!
